Raison D'etre

For me, the purpose has always been more important than the act. But sometimes the intention behind doing something may get lost in the rigmaroles of the society we live in and the 'system' that we are part of. So much so that we might be made to believe in a different set of 'goals' that we are supposed to strive for...so much so that we may lose sight of the final cause we had originally planned to accomplish...And sometimes the alternate motivations that drive the anachronistic 'system' are something you might have always despised...something that belittle the very act itself. It's a difficult situation then...As the world around you sings to a different tune, a tune you scorn at, while you feel like you have lost your own music.

What is important is that one shouldn't get so much disillusioned that the 'act' may seem to be of no value. True, the juice has to be worth the squeeze, but the worthiness has to be measured carefully, with an eye on what we truly want and where we were headed towards when we had begun the journey.
